This morning at 2:30 or 3am, I found myself responding to a post on Instagram. The response came through like lightening. Clear. Direct. Illuminating. It was as though I had suddenly found my voice. 

What follows is not in the style of my usual post. It is an impassioned plea inspired by that response. It is an edict of sorts. From me, to me. And from me to you:

A big part of me wants to continue to run. To hide. But I am called to stand up and speak truth. We must all speak truth with a sword. From an aligned place. From that place of knowing. The sword is not to be used as a weapon. But to cut away untruth.

When you peel back the layers, the teflon, the lead, the chain mail, all of it, everything you’ve wrapped around your heart, what remains is tender. vulnerable. innocent. And brave. Fiercely, powerfully brave. It is SHE who lies beneath the façade. SHE who sees no need to attack or defend. Because SHE is. SHE knows. SHE knows Truth.

Unbury her. Uncuff her. Unleash her. Now! The weight she’s been carrying is not hers. It belongs to our culture. The culture that says “stay in line“ “follow the rules“. Or else.

Or else what?

Or else she will be free to rise up and reclaim her true place in the pantheon. Her true embodiment of her power. And grace. Or else she will rise up and expose the lies. The coercion. The fear mongering attempts at control that are clamping down every possible avenue of freedom.

In meditation, as you’re able, zoom out. Way out. To a Higher perspective. A perspective that knows Truth. A perspective that is operating out of faith, not fear. A perspective that sees the Higher order at play. Your body will know when you are in this place. It will not be reactive. It will be calm. It will trust. It will show you Truth. The Truth that comes from Gnosis - a deep soul knowing.

From this place of stillness, ask yourself if what you’ve been hearing out there is Truth. Again, Truth is not reactive. Truth is free from fear. Truth resides in a deeply expanded place of stillness. As Rumi said, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there...Do not go back to sleep.”

From that place, ask yourself what you “Gnow”. What you truly Believe to be Truth.

Truth will prevail. SHE will prevail. Whether we humans destroy ourselves and each other in the process is our choice. Earth will remain. Mama Gaia will evolve. In whatever ways are required. Must we continue to push her? To test her with our fear and greed? Or can we remember. Can we trust? Can we let go?

It is our choice. For now. This is not a call to armor. We’ve done too much of that already. It is a call to arms. Arm in Arm. Holding each other up, instead of pushing each other under. Arm in Arm. Eye to Eye. Heart to Heart. Truly seeing each other and remembering. Remembering what we came from. Who we are at essence. Waking up. Again and again. We cannot afford to sleep walk any longer. Nunquam Dormio. Do not go back to sleep. This is an urgent plea to remember.

We cannot afford the forgetting any longer. We cannot remain with frozen hearts and not kill ourselves in the process. Reach back. Reach in. Deeply. Your tears will tell you. They will confirm your knowing. Let go. Release the fearful clenched fists. Open your hands and your hearts and reach out. It’s urgent. Listen up. Stand up. Speak up. Allow yourself to be seen in all of your truth. Your light. Your glory.

SHE is ready to come out of hiding. SHE is ready to be revealed. To you, yourself, and to the world. It will cease to exist as we know it without you.

The time is now.
